Yesterday I received a model I'd ordered some time ago, and my painting desk became a hive of activity and I've got him cleaned up, assembled and painted in just over 24 hours.
The model is Buzz-Off (yes, that's his name), the leader of the Andreenids, a bee-like race of good guys who occasionally help, or are helped by, He-Man.
The model is a custom sculpt which is very similar to the original Filmation and toy versions (although the helmet is less daft).
I've gone for a very traditional colour scheme, although I've chosen to make the helmet and belt gold rather than yellow, and Buzz-Off has green goggles, whereas he usually has green eyes and brown goggles.
The wings were a separate piece which I've done simply with Cassandora Yellow over white.
The weapon hand was also separate, with a choice between an axe or a lance. I went with the axe because its what my childhood toy had, and I was concerned that a resin lance is doomed to snap; something that would really sting.
Hopefully, this brief surge of activity might be a sign that I have my painting major back.
Anyway, that's enough of me droning on, here are the progress scores:
Acquired: 101
Painted: 99
All those puns, beehave, nice work mate.
ReplyDeleteHive been buzzing about them.
DeleteDefinitely buzzworthy 😀
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff mate!
Thanks.
DeleteI can't say that He-Man cartoons ever rocked my boat but saying that you have done a sterling job in painting the figure..... now where's my fly zapper.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think He-Man has a very narrow window of nostalgia.
DeleteLMAO Brilliant job Kieron. You have been buzzy with this one.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed my bumbling writing.
DeleteI loved him as a kid. Brings back good memories! Superb paintjob, just like Prince A.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteGreat work! Never had him as a kid, so the nostalgia for this one is not so big, but he's a cracking addition.
